Varisty Boys Volleyball Ups & Downs

The Varsity Boys volleyball season has been a roller coaster ride so far.

This past weekend at the UofM tournament they cruised through the round robin and quarterfinals and even defeated a top ranked St Pauls team in the semi's 2-0 on their way to the final. Unfortunately, the run of strong play stopped there and they lost 2-0 to Miles Mac in the Championship game.

In league play Monday night, the Royals visited the home of the MBCI Hawks hungry to redeem themselves from the weekend loss. Unfortunately, despite being close in each set, inconsistent play at the end of sets cost them dearly and they were defeated 3-0.

They have the rest of the week off before they start up the busiest part of their season. Next week they have home games against Miles Mac and River East Monday and Wednesday before they get on a plane to defend their Championship title at the Spruce Grove International tournament on Thanksgiving weekend.

Go Royals!!

JV Girls Volleyball Off to a Strong Start

The Junior Varsity Girls volleyball team has had a strong start in the 2013 season.  The team won their opening tournament in an exciting final against Vincent Massey Winnipeg.  After being down 3-10 in the 3rd set, the girls managed to come back and win the game 17-15.  Jessica Friesen was named tournament MVP and Madilyn Prive was a tournament All-Star.

On Tuesday, the girls faced River East in their first KPAC match.  The girls defeated River East 25-11, 25-23 and 25-8.

This weekend the Royals are playing in the Westwood Collegiate Tournament.  Games start Friday and continue through to Saturday.  The girls will try to defend their #1 ranking from this week!

JV Boys Volleyball Make Tournament Final

Congratulations to the Junior Varsity Boys Volleyball team who started their season off the right way by getting to the final of the MBCI tournament this past weekend.  The boys played a great final but lost in the third set by a score of 15-9.  Both P.J Seekings and Carter O'Hara were selected as tournament all-stars.

The Royals look to improve their #2 provincial ranking this weekend at the University of Manitoba tournament.  Go Royals!

ROYALS WIN KPAC BOYS AND GIRLS GOLF TITLES

Lord Selkirk Royals golf teams have both won the fall 2013 KPAC golf titles!  Wish them luck as they move on to Provincials in Portage this Friday! Congrats to both teams!

Varsity Volleyball Starts With a Bang!

Both the Varsity Boys & Girls volleyball teams have begun their competitive season now and the girls team has come out of the gates firing on all cylinders.

The girls successfully defended their title as UofW tournament champions by defeating the Linden Christian Wings 2-0 in the Championship final.

The boys team started their first competition at the UofW tournament as well but were not able to come out as strong as the girls team did. After a few games they started to get a groove going but they ended up losing a tight two set match to St Pauls.

From the looks of it, there will be some great volleyball action coming your way over the following weeks and months and the Royals look like they will be right in the thick of it all season long. Stay tuned for more updates and results.
